S 175 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to codify certain public land orders relating to the revocation of certain withdrawals of public land in the State of Alaska.

This bill (S 175) makes permanent specific administrative decisions by the Bureau of Land Management to revoke previous land withdrawals in Alaska. It codifies five Public Land Orders (7899-7903) that partially reversed earlier restrictions on public lands, allowing activities like mining or development in those areas. The bill directly affects land management in Alaska by turning temporary revocations into permanent legal provisions. It does not create new policy but formalizes existing land-use changes approved by the Interior Secretary in 2021.
